I'm so glad you found me! I'm a San Francisco photographer, and this blog charts my journey in the ever-evolving world of photography. One of the things I love about photography is that it's a journey, not a destination. I'm constantly learning and meeting wonderful people. Please peruse the blog to your heart's content, then check out my website and feel free to contact me! (I love hearing from you.)

Bird


As we were sitting having coffee in Union Square in the sun this afternoon, we were visited by this handsome little fellow. Fortunately for me, he seemed all too happy to pose for the camera!

    Yerrific close-up, such clear eyes, could someone name it please, here in Aust, I would guess at some sort of ornate Starling, except for the throat warble, which makes me think I am wrong.

    Great capture - the colors in the wing remind me of a peacock.

    It is posing and seemingly looking to see if you got its close up. I'll just echo all of the above. It could be a starling...

    Think Ron is right, Jessica. Starling it is.

    This is the bird that causes so many problems with the airports. Brought over from England. Since they are not a native bird and are a nuisance, they do not receive protection from the Government.
